Warring States Robe:
The Warring States robe refers to the robe worn during the Warring States period. It evolved throughout various dynasties, with each period's robe having its own characteristics. The Warring States robe is highly recognizable, giving off a sense of dignity and elegance. It was mostly worn by nobles of the Warring States period, being very form-fitting, highlighting a tall and slender figure. Originally, the robe was a garment of ethnic minorities, but after the Warring States period, it became common. The representative garment of the Warring States period was the shenyi (deep robe), and as the robe was integrated into hanfu (traditional Han clothing), it gradually replaced the shenyi. Although the robe and the shenyi are quite similar in structure, the main difference is that the shenyi often has a curved hem, while the robe typically has a straight hem.
Xinyi|辛夷:
"Xinyi" refers to the Magnolia flower (specifically Magnolia biondii), a deciduous tree from the magnolia family. It usually blooms in early spring, often before the leaves sprout, with white or pale purple flowers. Besides being a popular ornamental flower, xinyi is also used in traditional Chinese medicine, commonly for treating nasal congestion and headaches.
In ancient Chinese poetry, xinyi often appears as a symbol of spring. For instance, the magnolia flower is mentioned in poems by Li Bai, expressing the beauty of spring and the vitality of nature.
Xiangyun Silk Introduction:
Xiangyun silk(or Xiangyun Sha or 香云纱) is a handcrafted dyeing and finishing technique with a history of 1,700 years. The juice of yam plants is used as the dye for Xiangyun silk. The production of Xiangyun silk involves 13 pure handcraft processes in a repetitive cycle, taking nearly a year to complete one piece. Xiangyun silk can only be produced for five months each year. The texture of Xiangyun silk changes over time, earning it the nickname "open piece(开片)." Each piece of Xiangyun silk is unique and cannot be mass-produced. The peak period of Xiangyun silk was during the late Qing Dynasty to the early 20th century. The production technique of Xiangyun silk was once on the verge of extinction in the last century. In 2008, Xiangyun silk was included in the Chinese National Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
